his investigation be was ready TO talk to
some of the leading business men i'll the city
about his enterprise. Some of them have
become interested in the affair and COM
paDy is being formed with half the capital
coming from the city and the remainder tho

The matter of location is the question that
Cow meets the gentlemen interested. Owing
to this it is desired that but little informa-

or who is interested The fact leaked out,
however, that two points On the west side
are being cons idered for location One is di-
rectly west of the city, short distance west
of Harry street. and the other is some dis
lance north from the first mentioned. It is
not desired that any direct pointers at pres

Before the sermon ten minutes were sper
in testimony meeting in which young am

why someof the card playing and theater

The subject last night was Repentance, g
subject little understood even by christians
He presented its Importance. John the Bap
list began preaching with repentance, SC
did Christ, SO did the Disciples. Why so
Because repentance is necessary to salvation.
Repentance is not Cody sorrow for sin
but Cody sorrow worketh repentance. Re
pentance is the fruit of Cody sorrow. The
Greek words translated repentance mean a
change of intention. purpose; to me regret
to change ones purpose or line Of action to
change ones opinion or mind q change OF
mind or reflection. 7sar soy
| The gifts and calling Of God are without
repentance, that is without change of Gods
mind and the taking back Of the gift Esau
found no place of repentance, although he
sought it carefully with tears. Esau found
no way to change his mind, that is. his faith
er's mind. after he had given Jacob the
blessing.
Repentance sometimes refersto thoughts
of the uuconverted or of christians. Change
them
/ Mr., G. said: II any christians think that
/ have heen hard in my condemnations OF
worldliness read James 4 A. Nothing that
nave said compares in severity with that.
Take it homo and sleep over it. 'sUnless
thou repent ] viii spew thee out Of my
MOUTH - sE-st go
Repentance may refer to God-repentance
toward God and faith toward our Lord
Jesus Christ. Repentance toward God is
simply a change of mind concerning the
character of God Man has wrong mind
toward God, Your thoughts are not .as
INV Thoughts THE world hath not known
thee" God wants to know him. How did
man get his wrong thoughta He got it from
the serpent in the Garden of Eden, who
made man believe God did not love him, and
for 6,GO0 years God has been trying to
get man to believe that God does love them.
Repentance is produced by believing the
truth. Ye shall know the truth and the.
truth shall make You free. The truth as it
is in Jesus-Jesus on the cross portrays the
deep and tender love of God. Rspsntapce
effects change of life.
God calls to repentance, not willing that
any should perish. Christ came to. call sin
ners to repentance. The goodness of God
leadeth thee to repentance. You are out of
hell tonight simply because God loves you.
Do you despise the riches of this goodness!
There is joy in the presence of the angels Of
God over one sinner that repententh. God
rejoices.

TO the Editor of the Eagle. So
A rumor haI been circulated to the effect
that the g. A. r building was unsafe, and q
number of the citizens have requested that !
examine the building and ascertain if there
was any cause for such report.
In company with Mr. A. G.. Gribe and G.
o. Albert, contractors and builders, we yex-
anined the building thoroughly and find
there isno reason for such report and that
the building is substantially built and no in
dication of it having settled or sprung since
its acceptance by the G. A. R. committee,
and further, pronounce it entirely safe. Al
terations have recently been made which
makes it better as regards egress in case of
fire, there being an outlet on the south and
